Financial information

To apply for student financial support, you need a citizen service number, a ‘burgerservicenummer’ or ‘BSN’ in Dutch. You automatically receive one when you register with a Dutch municipality once you arrived in the Netherlands. 

You need to apply for DigiD and register at DUO. Our school can be found under the name Stichting Schoolvision. Because we are a private institution, there is a form about ‘tuition fee statement’ (found here at the DUO.nl website under ‘controle collegegeldkrediet’) that our administration office has to sign and stamp once your application is complete.

This means once your contract is signed, an official copy of your original diploma is made at our office, and once your downpayment is paid.

You have to fill in your details, and you have to upload this file in DUO after. You do not have to enroll at Studielink. You can find more information about student finance here at DUO.nl.

The available HBO study financing can consist of a regular loan, a tuition fee loan, and a student travel product. There potentially also is a supplementary grant, depending on the net income of your parents, which can be turned into a gift when graduating within 10 years.

For more information and amounts, please see this document or visit the DUO wesbite for the most accurate information.
